What's Spinning Tonight?

What is it that you are spinning tonight?

 

Maybe it was me Stephan, as I bought and played this quite heavily a few weeks back… Such a wonderful album! I hope you enjoyed it. Happy New Year 2025 !

For you too johan and your family ..thanks
Back in the past
This was the first player back then, when I thought that digital had finally caught up with analogue playback. That feeling has been confirmed again today... I love this machine.

the good old days (deutsche mark) I buy the remastered CDs before 2000 I think. The CD transport gives you an analogue feeling when you have to lift the acrylic glass lid to put in a new CD. With SSC feet underneath and a good silver AES/EBU cable that feeds the metronome DAC, it sounds extremely good. I have a lot of fun with it

 

Carole King ~ The Living Room Tour

Format: 2 CD Set/Stereo

 

From the Sony SCD-1 right now☝:

Pink Floyd - Delicate Sound Of Thunder, from 1988.

This double live album of two CD’s, recorded in August 1988 is to ”ME”… -if I count the musical performances and the flow of each song + the powerful sound of Gilmour’s voice, the absolute best P-F album of all times (YMMV). Homever, the overall recording is rather thin in the bass region and needs a B I G boost of the subwoofer system to really come alive. Once the boost is integrated and the volyme control is cranked up to RED LIGHTS WARNING - it’s like having a live Pink FLOYD concert in the audioroom ☝ !!!

And the lp both great

I have the original LP from 1988 (plastic sleeve)…
I have the reisse from - 2017…
And I have the 3 LP box from 2020…

Guess which one sounds best..???
I will not strech your minds too far… so I better tell you - The original, on thin ordinary 140g vinyl is by far the best sounding album of the three☝!! The other two doesn’t even come close.

The reissue is very metallic/edgy/sharp sounding, and the three album box has a very strange overall sound to it, compared to the original. Although some songs sounds okay and the box contains a few more songs than on the original LP album, it is on third place in my DSOT collection, due to the fact I find the sound from the double live CD album to be the absolute best, believe it or not.

I have only the original 1988 love that lp.
The best sound from pink floyd is original "final cut lp"from early 80ties.

I only have the 2 CD Set from 1988.
I've not played this in about 8 years so now that I have a new CDP I'll do a re-evaluation of this CD Set...
I'll post a mini review of this recording after I've listened to it.

Up next:
Pink Floyd ~ The Delicate Sound Of Thunder(1988), 2 CD Set/Stereo

Don’t buy the new ones, as it is not worth it.

I thought about looking for the LP but that was many years ago...
Delicate Sound Of Thunder is a digital recording as far as I know so it will/should reveal flaws from the technology of the time.

Wasn't a best seller, but dynamic & resolution is great. You jump up when a jet fighter flies past and drops a bomb

Have to take that back, as I don’t longer have the final cut in my collection due to I didn’t like it at all. Thought I still had it, but remember now, that it went away together with a lot of old worthless albums I had from way back. I took this decision to make room for more delicate albums compared to what I previously had owned.

The Final Cut did not match the new collection…

I will stream it though and see if I did a mistake to give the vinyl away..

Lol..
Well I'm looking to buy another house, maybe a castle even...wait & see.
Actually apartment life isn't so bad and it much cheaper than a house for sure. Taxes are terrible..

My digital & analog setups are optimized for medium sized rooms and are more of a intimate encounter rather than a all out assault on the senses such as a live concert.

McIntosh has a newer version of their MC3500 from the late 60's early 70's, MC3500 MKII, that I've thought about building a new studio reference system using one of the new Nagra studio R2R machines and either passive ATC 50's or Klipsch Jubilees.

All of these ideas in my head right now...

Individual songs are not important on the LP, you have to get involved and listen to it as a coherent story. For example, postwar dream..rogers voice is soo good.I think that was his idea for the LP. My opinion and not everyone has the same taste and that's a good thing, it would be boring, Johan.
